Technyl STAR®

Pushing the limits of thermoplastics with the Technyl® Force

Now omnipresent in consumer goods and industrial products of all kinds, engineering plastics have long-proven their value in terms of technical performance and aesthetics.

Their physical strength also makes them ideal as a lightweight replacement for metal in many cases.
